Sumner High School Students to host
Benefit Night Talent Show and Dinner Auction
“Focus on Today” – Bob Jones
SUMNER, WA: Sumner High School ASB is hosting the 9th annual Benefit Night Talent Show on February 19
and 20, 2015. This event is held annually to benefit a member of the community and is sponsored by Sumner
High ASB. The Benefit Night Talent Show features a variety of performances by students and community
members, making for a fun evening of entertainment and laughter for the whole community. Sumner High School
ASB is also hosting a dinner and silent auction on March 3, 2015, as part of Benefit Night.
This year’s beneficiary is community member Bob Jones.
In October of 2013, Bob Jones was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Initially, the outlook looked good until
November 2014, in which another tumor was discovered. Despite this adversity, Bob “focuses on today” by
finding the positive in everyday life. He brings this energy to the Auburn and Lake Tapps areas as he remains
active in athletic/coaching communities.
